Referral Section
In the broad profession of optometry, you usually see doctors who either specialize in vision therapy or in treating low vision, but rarely both combined into a single practice.
Dr. McBryar is referred to by many medical and educational professionals in Chattanooga for functional vision exams, including:
Strabismus
Amblyopia
Convergence insufficiency
Diplopia
Learning disabilities
TBI
Vision loss
Impaired visual field
For example, a person struggling with convergence insufficiency may suffer from headaches or difficulty in classroom performance and may not know that this is due to an aspect of their neurological visual system which is malfunctioning. There is a wealth of clinical research indicating the success of correcting convergence insufficiency with vision therapy.
